Inside information: Solar Foods has received a positive scientific opinion from EFSA on Solein® – A significant milestone towards commercialisation in Europe
Finnish food technology company Solar Foods has received a positive scientific opinion from the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), confirming that the company’s novel protein ingredient Solein® is safe under the proposed conditions of use. Solar Foods considers the opinion a groundbreaking milestone, taking the company a significant step closer to commercialising Solein in the European Union’s substantial protein market. The opinion significantly de-risks Solar Foods’ commercialisation plan and enables progress in finalising binding offtake agreements, financing, and the investment decision for the Factory 02 production facility. Solar Foods will provide more details on Solein’s commercialisation strategy in a webcast today at 14:00 EET.
